Were having our bathroom repiped with copper pipe and my question is
which type of angle stops should be used? The person sweating the
pipes put in 1\2" female copper fittings then a galv. close nipple
then the 1\2" female angle stop and they all seem to leak. would it
not have been better to use a 1\2" compression angle stop on the
copper pipe instead?

1/2" compression, Period. Never had one fail. Hmmmmmmm copper and galv. two
different metals in contact with eachother, bad news. Electrolysis!!!
